I will say it once: there's no reason to betray the other team.

[Sholmes seems pretty certain about that]

I will not say it's impossible they may betray us. It's likelier them choosing to betray will happen in the last part of the game, though -- when we're closer to the end. Doing it at the start would cause retaliation, and we both would enter a stalemate where both teams suffer and don't advance at all.

But there's nothing to gain from paranoia, so I suggest we cooperate until the end. Shall we?

[undertakings]

I don't disagree. [And while physical pain isn't pleasant, he's pretty used to it at this point, so he doesn't really care about getting a couple of shocks or whatnot as long as it doesn't leave him unable to stand or something.]

How many bandages did you have?

[herlocksholmes]

Only one roll of gauze. It's quite the expensive item!

[So stockpiling the miraculous gauze wasn't an option, alas]

[undertakings]

We can keep it in reserve then. I don't think the purpose of this exercise is to injure us to the point of being unable to complete the rest of the Saturday lessons.

[fabulation]

I suppose I don't quite have the heart to betray them anyway.

[ Xingqiu, at the end of the day, is still too nice for that...though he is a bit on edge because it is not just his wellbeing at risk here.

Regardless, he thinks he knows Chongyun well enough that he'd agree the very same. It'd be different it was lives at risk instead of just pain. ]

[unsinksyourship]

Aren't these rules too complicated? Nobody said anything about arithmetic for any of these Saturday lessons...

[Look, he'd almost prefer getting chased around by doppelgangers to trying to make heads nor tails of this nonsense?? It's starting to make his head hurt just trying to remember it all. Please note the possibly literal steam starting to rise considering dreamscape life(?).]

But I still say it's better to advance than not! And if you're going to advance then take a proper gamble! Well, I'd really rather not get electricity or whatever stupid punishment is in store... But it seems kind of rigged? No?

[That's all he's really getting from this pile of rules in this rulebook from hell.]

[teidaisei]

Aren't you lucky, Tamamori-kun. You can put this towards your next entrance exam. I wonder if it will stick this time?

[ This is his excuse for not doing math initially and not that I, limon hate math and was totally around. ]

[unsinksyourship]

After this, piddly little Imperial entrance exams are going to be a piece of cake!! ...... is what I'd like to say, but I think some of these are still better.

[He's reeeaally bad at stuff that doesn't engage him. Or force him to be engaged. Look, he can't help it, he learns by doing and if he hasn't any doing motivation then that's that.

Tamamori is totally not pouting about this.]

Round 1 Decision

[afflictionmods]

Submit your group's decision here.

[herlocksholmes]

Cooperate. No betrayal!

[undertakings]

I don't believe there's a reason to do anything differently from last time.

[cloudalike]

I definitely agree we should advance. Two spaces each time, with the possibility of injury. This way we can control our expectations. And... honor the trust we all have with each other.

[fabulation]

I agree as well.

There's no point in changing things up this time either.

[ He also doesn't want any of them to get anymore hurt than they were before.

Maybe it's naive of him, but Xingqiu has no intentions or interest in hurting any of the other participants here; they're all in the same situation, so they should all be able to face everything together. ]

[unsinksyourship]

I don't know about that! Did you see the look on their faces?!

Half of 'em don't know what decision to come to, and the other half are shady! Well, I'm just talking about the doctor, though.

[He just thinks Rideaux is weird, even if he was mildly helpful last week. Just because a doctor is helpful doesn't make him trustworthy, let him tell you that from!! Experience!!!!]

[fabulation]

Hm? Oh, I did certainly notice the looks on their faces.

[ Just because that didn't exactly escape from what he can see. ]

I suppose I'd hoped that they'd take the same risk again, though.

[ ...which probably says a lot about Xingqiu's general levels of faith in people, probably. ]

[unsinksyourship]

I could see the half-naked guy and the other guy taking a risk? Mostly the half-naked guy. I think.

[He's still not sure which in that group is actually the lead so. Who knows??? The guy with clothes was the one actually stating a plan of action. Still...]

Not so sure about the other two, either.

[He doesn't mind Julius but it's hard to get a read on him!!]

[undertakings]

If they decide to betray, then the rest of the teams will know they aren't to be trusted.

[Not that he's saying he super trusts them not to, but if they're practical they can at least see why it would be a bad idea.]

Round 2 Decision

[afflictionmods]

Submit your group's decision here.

[cloudalike]

Cooperate.

round 3 decision

[afflictionmods]

Submit your decision here!

[undertakings]

Cooperate.

ROUND 3

[unsinksyourship]

I'm starting to get too tired to think this through too hard. They seem like it too. So I say we just leave this one up to fate.

[Tamamori probably isn't still flopped for this but he definitely looks like he wishes he still was!! Sighs!!!!!]

[undertakings]

Well, that's what we've been doing up till now.

But do we need to discuss who needs to be carried for this round?

[Like, Chongyun is one of the obvious ones, and then probably Tamamori.]

[cloudalike]

I'm fine... [ He's not. ] If anything, I think I should step in first, in case there's another trap.

[unsinksyourship]

Hmmm... Well, who can carry, anyway? That guy, and?

['That guy' with a vague gesture at Sholmes.]
